Wine notes: "I was blown away by this Mouton, which to me is one of the three greatest Moutons made in the last thirty-five years (1982 and 1986 being the others) This particular bottle was astonishingly young and unevolved, with a black/purple color, a huge, yet still youthful nose of cassis, minerals, and new oak. Exceptionally powerful and super-extracted, with the fruit supported by high levels of tannin and some lusty quantities of It may well be a 100-year wine!"(100pts) Provenance: From Europe with Love: Our continental gentleman, a collector of extraordinary taste and legendary generosity, returns with 100+ selections of ancient and modern wonders.
